DEUTSCHE Boerse AG and London Stock Exchange Group Plc agreed to combine in a US$30 billion deal to create a European trading powerhouse able to compete with US rivals encroaching on their turf.
But the deal, which marks a third attempt to link the Frankfurt and London exchanges, may prompt a bidding war after New York Stock Exchange owner Intercontinental Exchange said it may make an offer for the British group.Nearly 16 years after Deutsche Boerse first tried to take over LSE, the London and Frankfurt exchanges said last month that they were discussing an all-share merger, which they confirmed yesterday would give Deutsche Boerse shareholders 54.4 percent and LSE shareholders 45.6 percent of a new company.
In a combined statement, the exchanges sought to sell the deal, which they described as “a premium free merger of equals,” to their investors with the lure of potential annual cost savings of 450 million euros (US$500 million).They also promised their users — the banks and fund managers who pay fees to trade and companies who pay to be listed — “substantial benefits,” although they gave no figures.
And in a clear effort to win over Europe’s politicians to the benefits of a dominant pan-European exchange, Deutsche Boerse Chief Executive Carsten Kengeter said it would enable Europe to enhance its capital markets. This chimes with European Union plans to establish a “Capital Markets Union” to bolster the region’s financial markets to compete better with the United States and Asia.
